Another Poem for Plurk

      Untitled

      I am a baby in my crib
      crying
      I'm cold, I'm lonely
      Hold me, love me. . .
      and you give me a bottle.

      I am a child, locked in my room,
      crying
      I'm hurt, I'm lonely,
      Hold me, love me. . .
      and you give me cookies.

      I am a adolescent, imprisoned in my fears
      crying
      I'm afraid, I'm lonely,
      Hold me, love me. . .
      and you give me pizza and the TV Guide.

      I am a woman, trapped in self
      crying
      I'm lost, I'm lonely
      Hold me, love me . . .
      and it's too late.
